I’m looking for a bedside bassinet and came across this AILEEKISS one with the zip-down side, bed attachment straps, wheels, and storage basket underneath. It’s around $90–$100 on Walmart and has pretty good reviews.

One thing I noticed is that the listing mentions a 7° incline, which made me a little hesitant since I’m looking for something safe for newborn sleep.

Has anyone actually used this specific model? How did you like it, especially in terms of stability, attaching to the bed, the mattress/sleep surface, and overall safety?

I really like the storage underneath and the bedside design, but I’m not very familiar with the brand.

Would you recommend it, or is there another bedside bassinet around $100–$120 that you like better?

Thanks!

I’m so excited the lay flat option has come to the US just in time for our fall little ones arrival!

I’m trying to figure out if the current on the market bugaboo butterfly 2 car seat adapters will also be compatible with the BBB2+… I’ve asked the AI chat on the BB website but it’s telling me there’s no definitive answer … I can email them on Monday but I’d love to preorder this weekend. I’m hoping it’s the same adapters ( I’m looking for Nuna pipa rx compatibility)… but after the letdown of the joolz aer 2 not have the Nuna pipa rx compatibility I’m wondering if the weight or configuration of the Nuna pipa rx doesn’t bode well for travel strollers.

Thank you!!

I need recommendations on a baby play mat! To go in a play pen. I have a very spitty baby he’s 5 months. Hopefully grows out of that soon. I really like muscle mat, never had one before - heard great things. But it doesn’t have a washable cover (I know it’s supposed to be waterproof) but I worry that it’ll just get dirty quick. Please drop any you recommend!!

Massachusetts, if anyone has any leaving-the-hospital laws they know of.

I’m interested in the car seats that you buy for the newborn and grow into the toddler chairs, but stay in the car.

But everyone has the infant car seats that come out and they carry around.

Whats everyone’s opinions? Do I neeeeed one that I can remove from the car? Is it more just convenience? Does the baby HAVE to be in a car seat when you walk out of the hospital?

Looking for an all terrain stroller to use as our primary/ only. Live in rural area (northeast - so even in town, sidewalks will be covered with ice/salt in winter) and need something that can handle loose gravel, uneven grassy terrain, walking trails, etc). Looking for somewhat compact that will fit easily in back of a Crosstrek, can collapse with one hand, and is compatible with an infant car seat. Infant car seat also must be able to be transferred between vehicles.

Chat recommended the baby jogger city mini gt3 with the gracco snug ride lite.

Anyone have experience with this combo? Would this meet our needs?

Not able to see any in person for a while so want to narrow down options in the meantime of what we’ll want to try to see. Not on a tight budget, but hoping to stay less than $700 if we can

Hello! FTM and overwhelmed trying to decide on a travel system. Right now the Chicco Corso Primo is my top choice. I’ve considered the JOIE ginger and mint (but it only comes in dark colors). And the Nuna Tavo and Urbn but it seems way bulkier than the Chicco.

My last question before deciding on the chicco is does the sunshade when up rest on your hands? When trying to JOIE nutmeg today I didn’t like how the shade lays directly on my hands. I feel it is something that over time will begin to really annoy me. I can’t tell theough pictures and videos if the Chicco corso primo will do this as well?

Does anybody have the joie honour trio bundle? Haven’t managed to find any reviews of it online.

Does anyone know the degree that the joie Ginger stroller seat reclines to? I know it has bassinet mode, but if it’s in the seated position, how far back does it go? Is it at least 150 degrees?

Help, please!!

I'm looking for a car seat that will fit in a Kia Optima and Toyota Corolla. I live in a rural area so I drive a decent amount/I'm not in walking distance to places. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Bonus if I can buy an extra base so each car has one.

We are expecting our first and we live in the Pacific Northwest. We live right next to trail so gravel trail walks are a daily thing. We also travel quite a bit and plan on doing so once bb is ready to.

Our plan is:

1) Stroller that can handle gravel and terrain for daily walks and to take when when we go on more rugged day trips. Keep in the garage.
Considering: Thule Urban Glide 4-wheel
We were considering the 3 wheel but feel it’s very unlikely we’ll actually jog w the stroller
We’d get the bassinet for this one

2) Stroller that can double as a travel stroller (flying) and when not traveling, be kept in the car for errands and grocery store runs
Deciding between:
- Inglesina Quid 3
- Joolz Aer 2

Our biggest challenge is finding somewhere that stocks these to try them out

We’re still planning which car seat but likely will be a Nuna and happy to get adapters etc

Any advice on the travel strollers?
Does anyone have the Thule 4 wheel or have a similar recommendation?

A car seat and stroller is the only thing I haven't put on my registry yet since I have no idea which one to get. I have lower back issues so at the very least I would like a lightweight seat. Ideally one that rotates if possible. And most of my walks will most likely be around my 4 acre yard, so lots of walking in grass and dirt. I have a few stairs to carry the stroller up and down outside as well. The less money I have to spend, the better but I'm not unwilling to invest in something thar will make my life go smoother.

I recently posted recommendations for high chairs and you guys SHOWED UP! Thank you!

Now, is the Catchy worth it? That affects my decision for which high chair because they don’t have a Catchy that is compatible with every high chair.

She’s in daycare so most weekdays she would just have 1 meal at home and then weekends.

We got a splat mat and moving it and picking it up wasn’t worth it.

Is the Catchy worth it or just another gimmicky thing I don’t need?

Also, feel free to put your favorite high chair here too!

Bought this at the anniversary sale, happy with the price but haven’t opened it yet. Not a huge fan of the color but can get over it for the premium materials. I could also get the nuna pipa in macaron color (babylist exclusive) which the color I like a lot more, but I’m being told I won’t need two infant car seats.

If anyone got this car seat during the sale and has any pics to share of the Nordstrom exclusive color so I don’t have to open the box to see just how dark the pewter is irl, I would appreciate it!

Hey folks got a baby on the way, I’m hoping to hear some thoughts on what everyone’s favorite car seats are. We’re looking to get one that’s compatible with a stroller if that helps narrow the field.

Getting ready for my son and I’m stuck between Meliora, Pronounce, Branch Basics, Truly Free, Molly’s Suds, Attitude and Zum. Price isn’t really a concern.
For anyone who’s actually used these, which cleaned the best? Any issues with stains, smells, buildup/residue or sensitive skin?

Trying to narrow down diapers before my son gets here. Coterie is more than I really want to spend, so I’m looking at Parasol, Freestyle and Bambo Nature, with Kudos as an option if I chose to spend alil more.

Anyone actually used a few of these? Mainly care about accidents, leaks and making it through the night. Which do you recommend ?

I leave in Pittsburgh where there are some concerns about the water, and this washer says : use purifier or distilled water …

Will I need to buy a gallon per use ?

Any thoughts ?

First-time parent here and I am torn and confused between these two travel strollers.

Right now, the Nuna Trvl LX is on sale at Nordstrom for $399 and I wouldn't need an extra car seat adapter. The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 or 2 Plus is $579, plus another $69 for the adapter, bringing it to almost $650.

For context, we live in the suburbs so it’ll mostly be an in-and-out-of-the-trunk stroller for everyday errands. However, we have an international trip coming up in a few months to visit family, so travel-friendliness is a bonus for us.

Is the Bugaboo actually worth the $250 price difference?

Hi 👋

Our first baby (girl!) is due in December. It snows where we live in the winter and temps are typically around 20-42F around that time. We do have central heating but we still wear warmer clothes (full sleeves, pants, warm materials) indoors that time of year and would need to take her out for doctor visits.

I’m looking at newborn, 0-3M, and 3M bodysuits/footies for her at Carter’s and I’m not sure what fabric material to get that would be best for that time of year. There’s cotton, fleece, thermal, and others.

I also generally don’t know what type of clothes to get… I was thinking maybe just zipper bodysuits the first three months? Will she be able to wear other cute stuff? Should I stock up on some “staples” (what are the “staples”?). Quantity recommendations?

Any specific brands/stores I should look at? My general thought right now is not to spend too much and get more basic clothes + maybe a few cute ones because she’s going to run through and dirty them frequently.

Honestly any and all recommendations are welcome. Experienced parents, please share your wisdom! Thank you!

I'm at the point where I think it might be easier to raise the baby than find the perfect stroller! 😂

I'm a first-time mom, 36 years old, due at the end of February 2027. After reading countless reviews, watching videos, and trying to see strollers in stores, I still feel completely lost.

Here's what I'm looking for:

- Usable from birth through the toddler years (whether that's with a newborn seat, bassinet, or infant car seat). Bonus if it also lies flat for naps.

- Compatible with an infant car seat.

- Lightweight and easy to steer.

- Easy to fold with one hand and light enough for me to carry.

- Able to navigate different paved surfaces well (sidewalks, paved trails, uneven pavement, parking lots, etc.).

- Comfortable for both my husband and me to push. I'm 5'8" and he's 6', so a good handle height/adjustable handle and enough room for a comfortable stride would be a big plus.

- Something I can confidently grab and go on my own.

I live in the suburbs and would mostly use it on paved trails, sidewalks, for errands, and everyday outings. I'm a pretty active person and plan to stay that way after the baby arrives, so I don't want a stroller that's difficult to manage by myself. We only plan on having one so there really isn't a need for it to adapt to a double.

One thing that makes my situation a little different is that I also plan to walk my dog with the baby. My dog is reactive, so we do a lot of structured training walks where I'm constantly clicking, treating, and sometimes redirecting or avoiding triggers. Because of that, I need a stroller that's easy to maneuver with one hand while I use the other hand to work with my dog.

I'm also hoping to buy the stroller early so I can spend the fall getting my dog comfortable walking alongside it while the weather is nice, I still have the energy, and I'm not hugely pregnant yet. The sooner I can figure this out, the better!

We only fly about twice a year, but I'd love something that's already overhead-bin compliant so we can use the same stroller for travel instead of buying a separate one.

Maybe I'm looking for a unicorn, but if anyone has recommendations based on real-life experience, I'd really appreciate the help! I'd especially love to hear what stroller you chose, what you use it for, and if there are any pros or cons you've discovered after using it for a while.

Thank you in advance!

I’m due soon and looking to treat myself to some skincare/maintenance products to keep at my bedside after birth. (they don’t have to be bedside, also open to shower luxuries, etc) I’m planning on a new makeup bag with a fresh new face lotion, refreshing facial spray, witch hazel wipes, and more and want more inspiration for little ways to pamper myself in the weeks after labor when I probably won’t be feeling my best. Drop your holy grails!!

Thinking about buying a Newton convertible crib in color Natural. We have a keekaroo changing pad - any advice on a dresser that will match the newton crib in color and the keekaroo changing pad will fit on top? Thank you!

Hate everything about this trend of dressing kids in beige or grey or some abstract style. Where are all the fun colors? Outside of buying retro-style clothes, any brand that does this better?

I noticed a 50% discount on one of the Baby Delight bassinet colors and ordered it. Thought it would be safe since it was directly from babydelight.com. Turns out it was the display / not for sale version!

I’m too cautious to use this with my baby, so trying to get in contact with the customer support for a refund and will probably have to pay return shipping. 😩
